Dems tip their hand in destroying the 1st Amendment

The left is now the establishment, the man, big brother. They are starting to institute their socialists agenda using the backdrop of the financial crisis as an excuse. Below is the beginning to their outright assault on the 1st Amendment, our right to speak freely without fear of government reprisal. It would be funny if it weren't true, see the proof below, this is not made up or a test or anything else then the cold sober truth of the possible beginning of the end. It is an attempt to shut down dissenting views clearing the forum of open debate and free flowing ideas via talk radio, at first, then setting up measures to control TV, press, and all forms and forums of communication labeling dissent as hate speech, all this led by the wife of a former radio executive who has had a hand in the failure of 3 radio networks who could not compete with conservative talk radio, very interesting.

Corey Deitz - The Fairness Doctrine: Free Speech and the Radio Marketplace
Free Speech – n. "The right to express any opinion in public without censorship or restraint by the government." – Answers.com
Lately, because of the dominant conservative tone of talk radio, there have been calls for a return to something referred to as "The Fairness Doctrine". In reality, it should have really been called the "Forced-Balance Doctrine". Unfortunately, freedom of speech is not necessarily about balance. Rather, freedom of speech is more often about imbalance – and how the strength of one or more opinions wins in the competitive court of public discourse.

Barbara Simpson - Beware unintended consequences
Michigan's Democrat Sen. Debbie Stabenow is the latest, and she makes no bones about it. She says "fairness" and "balance" on talk radio "is coming." She says the issue is "accountability."
She means the government will decide what can be said, where and by whom. She's not alone: Nancy Pelosi, Dianne Feinstein, Harry Reid, John Kerry, Jess Bingaman and others are on board, too.

WorldNetDaily - Another senator lines upbehind 'Fairness Doctrine'
Stabenow's husband, Tom Athans, was executive vice president of the left-leaning talk radio network Air America. He left the network in 2006, when it filed for bankruptcy, and co-founded the TalkUSA Radio Network.

Asked by Press if she could be counted on to push for hearings in the Senate this year "to bring these (radio station) owners in and hold them accountable," Stabenow replied: "I have already had some discussions with colleagues and, you know, I feel like that's gonna happen. Yep."
